#weekendjournals

If you are on any type of social media (facebook, twitter, instagram, etc.), you are probably all too familiar with hashtags.  For those of you who don't know what a hashtag is, a hashtag is a number sign followed by a word or unspaced phrase.  When students complete their weekend journal homework (which is having you or the person they wrote to write a letter back to them in their journal) they get to place two hashtags on that page.  The students LOVED learning about it and getting to apply their knowledge of it today as they wrote in their weekend journals to you.  Be sure to write them back each week so they can join in the fun of hashtagging!

Sincerely,
Mrs. Monk
